Tungsten oxide has wide range of applications in photo- and electrochromic devices, photosensitive materials and biomedicine and it has a strong antibacterial effect based on high photocatalytic activity, which may be further increased by UV irradiation and the use of smaller tungsten particles. Therefore, tungsten oxide is currently used as a visible spectrum photocatalyst for wastewater purification. Moreover, tungsten oxide nanoparticles fight against infection and cancer.
